Tanning for The Big Day

By Rachel Parker

Let’s be honest every bride wants to be bronze for their big day. Fake tanning seems like a quick and easy way to get some color without having to use the actual sun, but there are many things that people don’t realize about tanning for their wedding that they should. When you get a spray tan there is a good chance that you can turn an orange color, and no one wants to look like that, especially on their wedding day! There is an awesome alternative to this though that will leave you with a great color tan that will make you look like you came straight from a topical vacation.

 

Naomi’s Studio & Salon in Newington, CT they offer a top-notch airbrush spray tanning. This is called the “St. Tropez Airbrush Spray.” Airbrushing is done by hand so that the technician has complete control as to where and how much tan to apply to you. The booth that you see pictured in the picture is what you stand in front of and it has fans on it so that all the tanning liquid is spread evenly around you. This also allows you not to wear those horrible eye masks that leave you with a “sunglass tan” because the fans allow the tanning solution to move around so often that it never sprays directly in your face.

If you don’t want to do this option at all because you are completely against tanning in general then I have another tip for you. Tanning lotions can be tough because unless you rub it in all the way the second you apply it to your body it can become streaky. Something that I have discovered is that if you mix self-tanning lotion with regular lotion then the color is not so harsh, and the streakiness does not happen. This is a great way to get a little hint of a bronze color quickly. Totalbeauty.com has a great list of the 9 best self-tanners, which are all really great products to use.

Try these methods months before your wedding; do NOT wait for the day before! Everyone’s skin has different reactions to different lotions and tanning sprays so make sure that you test this with plenty of time so that you can ultimately choose the right way to look glowing on your special day!
